jorgesanchez's travel recommendations

Tapas and beers in the Plaza Real. Good atmosphere in a square that until the middle of the XIX century was a monastery requisitioned to the Church by our then Queen Isabel II. It is located next door to the flamenco show “Los Tarantos”. (The flamenco show “El Cordobes”, in the Ramblas, is much better than “Los Tarantos”). On Sundays, in this square, there are lots of stalls selling coins, stamps and rare items for collectors. Today, there are only beers bars, a youth hostel (too expensive!) and two nice street lamps designed by Antonio Gaudi in 1879.
